Good onion rings aren't worth driving 100 miles for but the Pelican Cafe in Lake Park or CG's Burgers in Jupiter has some good thick, sweet onion rings. I don't like the onion 'straws' that some places serve.

The onion rings at the newly opened ROK BRGR, in downtown Fort Lauderdale, are extremely good. I've had them both times I've eaten there. The burgers are amazing, as well. And you gotta try the deep fried bread 'n' butter pickle slices.

Not to quibble, but the best fried pickles in South Florida are the deep fried dill slices at Catfish Deweys.

I used to work near there, and would pick up an order of the fried pickles to take back to the office after eating lunch at Deweys. I could not get from the front door to my desk without all the pickles being snatched from my hands by co-workers.

After trying the Colossal Buttermilk onion rings at J. Alexanders, I would have to say these take the prize. For $7, you get a plate piled ~ 15" high of the biggest, thickest onion rings I have ever seen. The three of us couldn't even finish them off. And they are lightly breaded which makes them relatively grease free.
